Has anyone ever ignored the warning sign on the dashboard when the fuel runs short just to extract the mileage from the last drop?
Many car owners are guilty of this
Beware! This habit can cause some serious damage to the car
Fuel in the tank acts as an insulation and a lubricant. Shortage of it can damage the pump due to overheating
Fuel contains contaminants which, with time, settle at the bottom of the tank
If the car runs on low fuel, then there are high chances that the sludge at the bottom can get sucked by the pump
This can clog the car's injectors and filter
The vehicle can also pump air inside in case of low fuel
Fuel scarcity can break the power to the engine which can halt the vehicle suddenly
